TUESDAYS NOVENA PRAYER

Willingness to hear the word of God is a sign of predestination. Just like the exile, who awaits and gladly hears news from his homeland, shows that he loves his country, so too the Christian who listens attentively to him who speaks of the heavenly fatherland may say that his heart is directed towards heaven.” (St. Anthony)

Let Us Pray. Lord, through the intercession of Anthony, the Evangelical Doctor and messenger of your word, make us hear your Gospel and faithfully live it our. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Miraculous Responsory

1. If then you ask for miracles, death, error, all calamities the leprosy and demons fly and health succeeds infirmities.

Refrain: The sea obeys and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore; While treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore.

2. All dangers vanish at your prayer, and needs most dire do fly away; let those who know your power proclaim these deeds are yours, let Paduans say.

Refrain: The sea obeys and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore; While treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore.

3. All glory to the Father be, the like be given to the Son, and to the Spirit equally: the persons three, the Godhead One.

Refrain: The sea obeys and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore; While treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore.

For Each Tuesday: O glorious St. Anthony, Safe refuge of the afflicted and distressed, by miraculous revelation you have directed all those who seek aid to come to your altar with the promise that whoever visits it and there devoutly invokes you, for the nine consecutive Tuesdays, will feel the power of your intercession. Encouraged by this promise, I, a poor sinner, come to you, O powerful saint. With a firm hope I implore your aid, your protection, Your counsel and your blessing. Obtain for me, I beseech you my request in this necessity (mention it) … But if it should be opposed to the will of God and my spiritual welfare, obtain for me other graces that will be helpful for my salvation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be)

V/. Pray for us, Blessed Anthony.

R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Almighty and eternal God, you glorified your faithful confessor Anthony, with the perpetual gift of working miracles. Graciously grant that what we confidently seek through his merits we may surely receive through his intercession. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Old and New Testaments contain the fullness of that understanding which alone can produce wise men. The words of Scripture protect us from burning thirst for the worldly prosperity, from carnal concupiscence, and from diabolical suggestions. This wisdom teaches us to love God, despise the world, and dominate the passions. (St. Anthony)

Let us pray: Lord God, through the intercession of Anthony of Padua, may we be filled with heavenly knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Not many hear the Word of God willingly. The reason for this rests in the fact that the doctrine of Christ does not play a melody of adulation; it does not flatter the sinners and it does not promise earthly goods; instead it severely warns and teaches to mortify the flesh and despise the world. (St. Anthony)

Let us pray. Lord, following the example of your saints, may we accept your inspiration with a pure soul and mortify our hearts to adhere to you the true God, who lives forever and ever. Amen.

When a crystal is touched or struck by the rays of the sun, it gives forth brilliant sparkles of light. When the man of faith is touched by the light of God’s grace, he too must shine with his good words and deeds, and so bring God’s light to others. (St. Anthony)

He speaks well who with actions witness what he announces with his mouth. Whoever distributes faithfully the bread of the Word of God and does not hide the truth will be blessed now and in the future. Christ says: ‘I am the truth!’ Whoever preaches the truth affirms Christ; who conceals the truth, denies Christ. (St. Anthony)

Let us pray. Lord, by means of your servants you give us the bread of the word. May we receive it with a pure soul and witness to it in the world for your glory and for the salvation of our brothers and sisters. You live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

The contemplation of the sufferings of Christ renders us indifferent to the joys and pleasures of the world. When, with the eyes of faith, I see my God nailed to the cross, and given gall and vinegar to drink, everything here below loses its attraction for me and I experience my nothingness. (St. Anthony)

Let us pray. Lord Jesus, you died and rose to a new life for us. May we share in your mystery and take part in the joy of your resurrection. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit. God forever and ever. Amen.
